Hello, and welcome to my website. I am a NY and CT state licensed psychologist with private practices in Manhattan and Fairfield County. I have many years experience working with children, adolescents, and adults across a variety of settings, as well as a background in research psychology. I hold a Ph.D. from Long Island University, as well as an undergraduate degree—summa cum laude, with honors in psychology—from Columbia University. I completed my postdoctoral training at Mount Sinai West hospital, where I went on to become a supervising psychologist. I now remain on the faculty at Icahn School of Medicine—supervising and teaching outpatient assessment and psychotherapy. While I have extensive training in evidence-based treatment for a variety of psychological difficulties, I employ a holistic approach that considers the individual needs of each person. Former patients, students, and colleagues have found me to be reliable, perceptive, and warm.

Although I specialize in therapy for adolescents and young adults suffering from past traumatic experiences, anxiety, depression, and low self-worth, I have experience treating a wide array of populations and issues. Those benefiting from my services have suffered from diverse problems, including depression and anxiety, PTSD, gender dysphoria, medical issues, eating disorders, and separation/divorce. I draw from a variety of disciplines, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), family and group therapy, as well as attachment and mentalization-based psychodynamic psychotherapy, creating an empathic environment in which individuals can safely explore and make changes to longstanding difficulties.

I also specialize in psychological assessment and perform neuropsychological testing. Testing can be useful for identifying psychiatric diagnoses and learning disorders. In the past, assessment has helped elucidate problems including ADHD, psychosis, expressive-language disorders, slowed processing speed, as well as math and reading disorders. Results from neuropsychological testing have helped secure accommodations and services for those needing extra support.
